PRIORITY CLAIM AND RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation-in-part application of PCT/CN2017/071612, entitled “METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION, AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM” filed on Jan. 18, 2017, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201610037173.X, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on Jan. 20, 2016, and entitled “METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION, AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM”, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for generating and presenting combined content using media content from multiple unrelated sources.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

With the development of computer technologies and network technologies, content of online videos becomes increasingly rich. The diversified content of online videos gradually attracts extensive attention of users. When a user watches an online video by using a terminal, a service of an online video service may push presentation content such as news information and advertisement information to the terminal.

In the existing technology, multiple pieces of presentation content usually need to be set during an online video playing process. When a user watches an online video by using a terminal, each piece of presentation content covers the currently played online video in the form of a small window.

When the user is watching the online video, the presentation content covers the currently played online video in the form of a small window. Therefore, the presentation content obstructs the online video. In order to watch the online video more clearly, the user may subconsciously close the small window of the presentation content immediately, resulting in relatively low effectiveness of the presentation content.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the implementations of the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present technology provides a method for generating and presenting combined content using media content from multiple sources, where the method may be executed by a terminal. The terminal may be a terminal used by a user and having a video playing capability. An application program for playing videos may be installed on the terminal. The terminal may be a smart phone, a computer, and the like. A processor, a memory, a transceiver, and so on may be disposed in the terminal. The processor may be configured to process an information presentation procedure during online video playing. The memory may be configured to store data required and data generated during the processing procedure. The transceiver may be configured to receive and send information. The terminal may be further provided with an input/output device such as a screen. The screen may be configured to display an interface of an application program, a video image, and so on. The screen may be a touch screen. The terminal may play an online video by using a video application program, or access a video website to play an online video. The presentation content may be news information and advertisement information. In this embodiment of the present technology, the solution is described in detail by using an example in which the terminal is a mobile phone and the presentation content is advertisement information of a commodity. Other situations are similar thereto, and details are not described again in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the processing procedure of the method may include the following steps:

Step 101: When a target video is played, determine a presentation time point corresponding to presentation content of the target video. In some embodiments, the video player

During implementation, when a user wants to watch the target video, the user may start a video watching application program on a terminal, select the target video in a video list of the application program, and trigger the terminal to request video data from a server. After receiving the video data of the target video sent by the server, the terminal may determine the presentation time point of the presentation content set in the target video (for example, the presentation content is set at 00:10:15 of the video, and the presentation time point is 00:10:15). In some embodiments, the media player retrieves with the target video specifications of the presentation time points for the target video. In some embodiments, the presentation time points need not be specified, and presentation media may be inserted at any time point during the video playback, provided that the presentation location for the presentation media can be obtained in accordance with the method described herein.

Step 102: Acquire a position of a caption of the target video and a position of a video edge close to the caption, and determine a target presentation region between the caption and the video edge according to the position of the caption and the position of the video edge.

During implementation, the caption may be set in the video data of the target video, or the caption may be stored in a caption folder. When the target video is played to a particular time point, the caption of the current time point is acquired and displayed. After receiving the video data of the target video sent by the server, the terminal may acquire the position of the caption of the target video on the display or image frame of the video, and acquire the position of the video edge close to the caption on the display or image frame of the video. Then, the terminal determines a display region between the caption and the video edge (e.g., determine the coordinates of a rectangular region between the bottom edge of the caption and the lower edge of the video frame), and determines the target presentation region in the display region between the caption and the video edge. For example, the display region between the caption and the video edge may be used as the target presentation region, a part of the display region between the caption and the video edge may be used as the target presentation region, and so on. In some embodiments, the media player obtains the display location (e.g., the vertical coordinate of the caption on the screen) for the closed caption in a settings configuration. For example, the closed caption may be set to be displayed near the top of the image frame or near the bottom of the image frame. The media player also calculates the vertical dimension of the closed caption for the presentation time point. For example, if the closed caption needs to be displayed on multiple lines during the presentation time point, the vertical dimension of the caption is larger than if the closed caption only needs to be displayed on a single line. The media player identifies the closed caption that needs to be shown at the presentation time point, and determines the duration (e.g., how long the caption needs to remain displayed) and length (e.g., number of characters) of the closed caption that needs to be shown at the presentation time point, and determines the vertical width of the closed caption on the display. In some embodiments, media player also determines the current playback mode, e.g., whether the video is played in a full screen mode or window mode, in a portrait or landscape orientation, etc.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the height of the display region between the caption and the video edge may be determined. Corresponding processing may be: determining the height of the display region between the caption and the video edge according to the position of the caption and the position of the video edge.

In this embodiment, the terminal may acquire the position of the caption of the target video and the position of the video edge close to the caption, and then may determine the height of the display region between the caption and the target video. For example, the caption is located at a lower part of the target video, and the terminal may determine the height of a display region between a lower edge of the caption and a lower edge of the target video.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the height of the target presentation region may be determined according to the height of the display region. Corresponding processing may be: determining a product of the height of the display region and a preset proportion value as the height of the target presentation region.

During implementation, a preset proportion value between the height of the target presentation region and the height of the display region may be set and stored in the video data of the target video, or stored in the presentation content. After acquiring the video data of the target video, the terminal may acquire, from the video data, the preset proportion value between the height of the target presentation region and the height of the display region. After acquiring the height of the display region, the terminal multiplies the height of the display region by the preset proportion value to obtain the height of the target presentation region. For example, if the acquired preset proportion value between the height of the target presentation region and the height of the display region is ⅔, and the height of the display region is 3 cm, the terminal obtains through calculation that the height of the target presentation region is 2 cm.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the target presentation region is determined between the caption and the video edge according to the height of the target presentation region.

During implementation, after acquiring the height of the target presentation region, the terminal may determine a central position point of the display region, and then determine the central position point of the display region as a central position point of the target presentation region. In this way, the height and the central position point of the target presentation region can be determined. The target presentation region is a rectangular region which is in the display region and centrally symmetrical about the central position point, and the height thereof is the height of the target presentation region.

In addition, a preset proportion value between the width of the target presentation region and the width of the display region may be set, and stored in the video data of the target video or stored in the presentation content. After acquiring the height of the target presentation region, the terminal may acquire the width of the display region (that is, the width of a playing image of the target video) between the caption and the video edge, and then multiply the width of the display region by the preset proportion value, to obtain the width of the target presentation region. In addition, the terminal determines a central position point of the display region, and determines the central position point of the display region as a central position point of the target presentation region. In this way, the target presentation region is a rectangular region which is in the display region and centrally symmetrical about the central position point. The height of the rectangular region is the height of the target presentation region, and the width thereof is the width of the target presentation region.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the target presentation region may be determined between the caption of the target video and a lower edge of the target video. Corresponding processing may be: displaying the caption of the target video at a lower part of the target video; and determining the target presentation region between the caption of the target video and the lower edge of the video according to the position of the caption and the position of the lower edge of the video.

During implementation, the caption of the target video may be disposed at the lower part of the target video, and the caption may be directly set in the video data of the target video or the caption is stored in a folder. When the target video is played to a particular time point, the caption of the current time point is acquired and displayed. A preset proportion value between the width of the target presentation region and the width of the display region may be set, and a preset proportion value between the height of the target presentation region and the height of the display region may be set.

In some embodiments, the media player identify the target presentation region between the closed caption and the edge of the display region that is closest to the closed caption. In some embodiments, the media player will only identify the target presentation region if the media player has determined that the closed caption is shown in a single line. In some embodiments, if the closed caption is determined to be shown in multiple lines at the presentation time point, the media player shifts the presentation time point along the timeline of the target video to a new time point where there is no closed caption on display or where the closed caption is displayed in a single line. In some embodiments, if the media player determines that there is no closed caption on display at the presentation time point, the media player expands the target presentation region to occupy the display region for a single line of closed caption and the display region below the closed caption. In some embodiments, if the media player identifies that there is a time period that is within a threshold duration of the original presentation time point for which there is no closed caption on display, the media player shifts the presentation time point to the time point where there is no closed caption on display, such that the presentation content is displayed at a larger size, and/or without distraction from the concurrently displayed closed caption. In some embodiments, the media player determines the time duration between two periods of time during which closed captions will be displayed, and determine the display time of the presentation content to fit within that time duration. In some embodiments, the media player optionally shrinks the display size of the presentation content that is already shown on the screen to slide it in between the space between the closed caption and the edge of the display region, when the closed caption comes onto the screen at the display time of the closed caption.

As shown in FIG. 2, after acquiring the video data of the target video, the terminal may determine that the caption is located at the lower part of the target video. The terminal may further acquire that an edge position of the target video close to the caption is the position of the lower edge, and may measure a current display size of the target video. Then, the terminal determines the height and width of the display region between the position of the caption and the position of the lower edge, calculates the height and width of the target presentation region according to the preset proportion values, determines a central position point of the display region according to the height and width of the display region, and uses the central position point as a central position point of the target presentation region. In this way, the target presentation region is a rectangular region which is in the display region and centrally symmetrical about the central position point. The height of the rectangular region is the height of the target presentation region, and the width thereof is the width of the target presentation region.

Step 103: Display the presentation content in the target presentation region when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content.

During implementation, when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, the terminal may acquire the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point (for example, acquiring the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point from the server). After acquiring the presentation content, the terminal may acquire the determined target presentation region, and then display the presentation content in the target presentation region. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the presentation time point is 00:10:15, and when the target video is played to 00:10:15, the terminal may acquire presentation content “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show” at 00:10:15, and then display “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show” in the target presentation region.

In addition, when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, the terminal currently playing the target video may be detected. If the currently used terminal is a mobile phone, it is further detected whether the mobile phone is in a vertical-screen state. If the mobile phone currently plays the target video with a vertical screen, the presentation content is not displayed. If the mobile phone currently plays the target video with a horizontal screen (the target video is played with full screen), the presentation content is displayed. If the currently used terminal is a tablet computer, the presentation content is directly displayed. In some embodiments, the media player overlays the presentation content in the target presentation region in accordance with a determination that the media player is running on a display device with a first form factor (e.g., a smart phone); the media player overlays the presentation content in a region outside of the video frame of the target view in a floating window in accordance with a determination that the media player is running on a display device with a second form factor that is larger than the first form factor (e.g., a tablet device).

In addition, a presentation size of the presentation content may further be adjusted according to a display size of the target video. Corresponding process may be as follows:

When acquiring the presentation content of the target video, the terminal may measure the current display size of the target video, acquire a preset proportion (such as 5.5%) of the presentation size to the display size, and then calculate the presentation size of the presentation content according to the display size of the target video. When the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region according to the presentation size corresponding to the presentation content.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the presentation content may be acquired when the target video is played to second preset duration prior to the presentation time point, or locally stored presentation content of the target video may be acquired. Corresponding processing may be: acquiring the presentation content of the target video from the server when the target video is played to second preset duration prior to the presentation time point; or acquiring the presentation content of the target video when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, the presentation content being locally stored.

During implementation, second preset duration may be set. When the target video is played to the second preset duration prior to the presentation time point, the terminal may acquire the corresponding to the presentation time point.

When the target video is played to the second preset duration prior to the presentation time point, the terminal may send, to the server, an acquisition request for the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point. The acquisition request carries a video identifier of the target video and the presentation time point. After receiving the acquisition request, the server may search a presentation content set corresponding to the video identifier of the target video, then acquire the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point from the presentation content set, and then send the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point to the terminal. After receiving the presentation content, the terminal may display the presentation content in the target presentation region when the video is played to the presentation time point.

Alternatively, while acquiring the video data of the target video, the terminal may also acquire the presentation content of the target video, and then store the acquired presentation content in the terminal. When the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, the terminal may determine the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point from the locally stored presentation content of the target video according to the presentation time point, and then may display the presentation content in the target presentation region.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the presentation content may be displayed in a semi-transparent form. Corresponding processing may be: when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, displaying the presentation content in a semi-transparent form in the target presentation region.

During implementation, the presentation content may be set in a semi-transparent form. When the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content, the terminal may acquire the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point, and then display the presentation content in a semi-transparent form in the target presentation region. In this way, only a small part of the image of the target video is obstructed by the presentation content. For example, the presentation content is “Rouge Dior Crème De Gloss invites you”, and the background of “Rouge Dior Crème De Gloss invites you” is transparent.

In addition, the presentation content may further include a picture of a commodity to be presented. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the commodity to be presented in the presentation content is a Lamborghini luxury sports car. When the presentation content is displayed in the target video, in addition to “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show”, a picture of the Lamborghini luxury sports car may also be displayed. In some embodiments, when the length of the presentation content is longer than the closed caption that is currently displayed on the screen, the media player optionally enlarges the image of the sports car at the end of the presentation content, such that the image occupies a vertical height of the closed caption and at least a portion of the space between the closed caption and the edge of the display region that is closest to the closed caption. The media player dynamically expands and contracts the end image of the presentation content in accordance with the relative length of the closed caption and the presentation content (e.g., expand the end image if the closed caption is shorter than the presentation content, and contract the end image if the closed caption is longer than the presentation content).

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, when a playing progress of the target video is within a range of third preset duration after the presentation time point, displaying of the presentation content may be triggered. Corresponding processing may be: displaying the presentation content in the target presentation region when the playing progress of the target video is adjusted into the range of the third preset duration after the presentation time point.

During implementation, when the target video is played, a playing progress bar is displayed in a playing interface, and the user may drag the playing progress bar, to enable the terminal to play video data at any time point of the target video. The range of the third preset duration may be set (such as 10 seconds). When the playing progress of the target video is adjusted into the range of the third preset duration after the presentation time point, the terminal may acquire the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point, and display the presentation content.

When the user wants to fast forward the target video, the user may drag the playing progress bar displayed in the playing interface of the target video. When the terminal detects that the playing progress is adjusted into the range of the third preset duration after the presentation time point, the terminal may acquire the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point, then acquire the target presentation region corresponding to the presentation content, and display the presentation content in the target presentation region. For example, the presentation time point is 00:10:15, and the range of the third preset duration is 0 to 10 seconds. When the playing progress is adjusted into the range of 00:10:15 to 00:10:25, the terminal may acquire the presentation content “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show” corresponding to 00:10:15. When acquiring the presentation content corresponding to 00:10:15, the terminal displays “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show” in the target presentation region.

In addition, when detecting that the playing progress is adjusted into the range of the third preset duration after the presentation time point, the terminal may determine whether the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point has been played during current playing of the target video. If determining that the presentation content has not been played, the terminal acquires the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point, and then displays the presentation content in the target presentation region.

In addition, when the user wants to fast forward the target video, the user may drag the playing progress bar displayed in the playing interface of the target video. When detecting that the playing progress is adjusted into the range of fourth preset duration prior to the presentation time point (where the range of the third preset duration may be the same as the range of the fourth preset duration), the terminal may determine whether the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point has been played during current playing of the target video. If determining that the presentation content has not been played, the terminal acquires the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point, and then displays the presentation content in the target presentation region.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the terminal may control the presentation content to be displayed starting from a side edge. Corresponding processing may be: displaying the presentation content from a side edge of the target video, and controlling the presentation content to move to the target presentation region.

During implementation, after the terminal acquires the presentation content corresponding to the presentation time point and the target video is played to the presentation time point, the terminal may control the presentation content to enter the playing interface of the target video from a side edge (such as the left side edge or the right side edge) of the target video, and may control the presentation content to horizontally move to the target presentation region. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the presentation time point is 00:10:15. When the target video is played to 00:10:15, the terminal may acquire the presentation content “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show” at 00:10:15, and control “Lamborghini luxury sports car invites you to the show” to horizontally move from the left side edge of the target video to the target presentation region.

In addition, entering duration of the presentation content may be preset. The terminal may control the presentation content to move from the side edge of the target video to the target presentation region within the entering duration. For example, the terminal may control the presentation content to move from the side edge of the target video to the target presentation region within 5 seconds.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the terminal may display detailed information corresponding to the presentation content. Corresponding processing may be: acquiring and displaying the detailed information corresponding to the presentation content when a trigger instruction input by the user and corresponding to the presentation content is detected.

During implementation, when the presentation content is displayed in the playing interface of the target video, the user may click the presentation content. When receiving a trigger instruction corresponding to the user's click on the presentation content, the terminal may acquire detailed information of the presentation content (for example, loading a webpage, a news report, and so on including the commodity in the presentation content), then display the detailed information corresponding to the presentation content at a layer above the playing interface of the target video, and may still play the target video at the same time.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the terminal may cancel displaying of the presentation content. Corresponding processing may be: canceling displaying of the presentation content when display duration of the presentation content reaches first preset duration.

During implementation, the first preset duration (such as 5 seconds) may be set. When detecting that the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region for the first preset duration, the terminal may cancel displaying of the information.

After the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region for the first preset duration, the terminal may cancel displaying of the information, that is, the terminal may control the presentation content to disappear from the playing interface of the target video. For example, after the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region for 5 seconds, the terminal may control the presentation content to directly disappear from the target presentation region.

In an implementation of the embodiment of the present technology, the terminal may cancel displaying of the information from a side edge of the target video. Corresponding processing may be: controlling the presentation content to move towards a side edge of the target video, and canceling displaying of the presentation content when the presentation content is moved to the side edge.

During implementation, when detecting that the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region for the first preset duration, the terminal may control the presentation content to move towards a side edge of the target video, and when the presentation content moves to the side edge of the target video (for example, when the left edge of the presentation content moves to the right side edge of the target video), the terminal may cancel displaying of the presentation content. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the presentation time point is 00:10:15. When detecting that the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region for 5 seconds, the terminal may control the presentation content to move towards the right side edge of the target video, and when the left edge of the presentation content moves to the right side edge of the target video, the terminal may cancel displaying of the presentation content.

In addition, a moving speed of the presentation content may be preset, that is, duration from the moment when the presentation content starts to move towards the side edge of the target video to the moment when the presentation content disappears may be preset, for example, the duration is 5 seconds.

In this embodiment of the present technology, when a target video is played, a presentation time point corresponding to presentation content of the target video is determined; a position of a caption of the target video and a position of a video edge close to the caption are acquired, and a target presentation region between the caption and the video edge is determined according to the position of the caption and the position of the video edge; and the presentation content is displayed in the target presentation region when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content. In this way, when the video is played, the user is not affected by the presentation content when watching the target video, and the user does not immediately close the presentation content, so that the presentation content is more effective.

Based on the above, in some embodiments, a method is performed at a device having one or more processors, memory, and a display. The method includes: determining, when a target video is played, a presentation time point corresponding to presentation content of the target video, the presentation content and the target video having been retrieved as separate content items by the device from one or more remote servers; acquiring a display position of a closed caption of the target video and a position of a video edge that is located closest to the closed caption on the display; determining a target presentation region between the closed caption and the video edge according to the position of the closed caption and the position of the video edge; and displaying the presentation content in the target presentation region when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content.

In some embodiments, acquiring a display position of the closed caption of the target video and a position of a video edge that is located closest to the closed caption on the display includes: identifying a particular piece of closed caption that is to be displayed in the target video at the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content; and determining a boundary position of the particular piece of closed caption that is to be displayed in the target video at the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content.

In some embodiments, the displaying the presentation content in the target presentation region when the target video is played to the presentation time point corresponding to the presentation content comprises: displaying the presentation content starting from a side edge of the target video, and controlling the presentation content to move to the target presentation region.

In some embodiments, the method further include: after the presentation content is displayed concurrently with a particular piece of closed caption: detecting that the particular piece of closed caption ceases to be displayed on the display; and in response to detecting that the particular piece of closed caption ceases to be displayed on the display, expanding a size of the presentation content when no closed caption is displayed concurrently with the presentation content.

In some embodiments, the method further include: in accordance with a determination that display duration of the presentation content reaches first preset duration: controlling the presentation content to move towards a side edge of the target video; and canceling displaying of the presentation content when the presentation content moves to the side edge.

In some embodiments, the method further include: displaying the presentation content in the target presentation region when a playing progress of the target video is adjusted into a predefined range of after the presentation time point.

In some embodiments, the method further include: acquiring and displaying detailed information corresponding to the presentation content when a trigger instruction input by a user and corresponding to the presentation content is detected, wherein the trigger instruction input includes a contact with a touch-sensitive surface at a location corresponding to a region including both the location of the closed caption and the location of the presentation content.

Other details of the method are disclosed with respect to other embodiments described herein, and may be combined with the features disclosed herein in any reasonable manner.
